My Girl

When Jeab learns from his mother that his childhood best friend, Noi Nah, is getting married, a flood of memories takes him back to a bittersweet reminiscence of friendship and regrets. Flashing back to the 1980s, Jeab and Noi Nah share an inseparable bond as children. Their mothers are best friends, and they live only one door apart. However, their friendship faces scrutiny from a local gang of boys, whom Jeab longs to be a part of. Desperate for their approval, Jeab begins to distance himself from Noi Nah, ultimately causing her pain.

A massive box office hit upon its release, My Girl remains one of Thailand's most iconic films. This nostalgic journey offers a heartfelt reflection on friendship, masculinity, and personal growth, enriched by humorous references to the pop culture and music of the era. The film recently celebrated its 20th anniversary with a brand-new restoration and a reunion of the original cast as adults.

365 Film Production is a collective of six Thai filmmakers: Khomkrit Treewimol, Songyos Sugmakanan, Vithaya Thongyuyong, Nithiwat Tharatorn, Adison Tresirikasem, Vijjapat Kojiw.
